This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and etiology of TONIC-CLONIC and MYOCLONIC SEIZUREs in children.Methods: This analytical and descriptive study was done on 300 patients with TONIC-CLONIC and MYOCLONIC SEIZUREs admitted to amirkola children hospital in 2002-2003. Data including age, sex, type of SEIZURE, etiology, and history were collected.Findings: Prevalence of TONIC-CLONIC and MYOCLONIC SEIZUREs was 300 cases (3.7%) among the 8000 visited patients. TONIC-CLONIC SEIZURE was seen in 276 cases (92%) and MYOCLONIC in 24 cases (8%). Etiology of SEIZURE in 163 cases (54.3%) was idiopathic, in 86 cases (28.6%) was structural brain damage, in 21 cases (9.7%) was metabolic disorders, in 13 cases (4.3%) was head trauma, in 12 cases (4%) was drug withdrawal and in 4 case (1.3%) was delivery problem (trauma & torch(.Conclusion: The result of this study showed that the common type of SEIZURE is TONIC-CLONIC and the most common cause is idiopathic.
